Police: Man Uses Deodorant, Batteries To Rob Bank

POSTED: 12:41 pm EDT May 4, 2007
UPDATED: 10:20 pm EDT May 4, 2007

Authorities on Friday arrested a man who they said walked into the First Commonwealth Bank on Station Street in Bridgeville and put a device down, saying it was a bomb.

Police said Sean Fite, 42, of Bridgeville, took off with an undisclosed amount of cash, leaving the "activating device" behind.

Officials evacuated the bank while bomb squad members worked to figure whether the device was a bomb.

According to police, the so-called bomb was actually a stick of deodorant duct-taped to batteries.

Police plan to charge Fite with robbery, terroristic threats and risking a public catastrophe, among other charges.
